The American Thoracic Society is deeply disappointed Congress & the Trump Admin chose tax cuts over healthcare. The CBO estimates 11M+ Americans will lose insurance from the "One Big Beautiful Bill," harming patient health. This threatens hospitals, especially rural ones, & burdens physicians.

“Unhealthy food & drink ads banned on government owned buses, trains & trams in South Australia” - Great to see these initiatives spreading across globally. Well done London, Amsterdam & AUS (ACT&SA) for tackling #obesity this way @ats-peds.bsky.social

American Lung Association State of the Air 2024 How healthy is your air? Learn how where you live measures up when it comes to air pollution, smog and soot.

The latest State of the Air report indicates poor air quality for many Americans. Reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and strengthening air quality regulations makes our air cleaner and keeps us healthier. It’s not rocket science, it’s environmental health science!

Great opening plenary - Start your day with gratitude; Stories give hope & aspiration a place to live & create urgency for our questions & answers; 1 person doing 1 thing for 1 person other than oneself goes further than you think… especially if you are “stoppable” #ATS2025 @gradydoctor.bsky.social

Kicking off #ATS2025 opening ceremony with a strong message “what do we (ATS) stand for… we stand for science, we stand for vaccines, for equity, diversity and inclusion, for clean air and climate action, and each and every member of our community around the world that help the world breathe“

ATS Resident Bootcamp Day 1 was amazing! And full of laughs! #ats2025 thank you Baxter! @atscommunity.bsky.social

Proud of Australia’s tough stance on #vaping to act on national data from 2022/23 showing recent vaping in 1 in 6 high school students (4-fold increase since 2017). Sad to see this does not have bipartisan support coming into the election. Strongly support these statements from #TSANZ and #ACOSH

It’s very much a fight that is still being fought on many fronts internationally. We will get there. Thank you for helping the cause by being part of those research studies

Love it when families show us their love for #respiratory in clinic @atscommunity.bsky.social @ats-peds.bsky.social

Fascinating insight into the influence of the 5 senses in immune response - from MHC emitting scent signatures which the olfactory system decodes to
the taste of bacteria. Feeling guilty for ignoring the cries of help from tomatoes in my garden all these years 🍅😱 @ats-peds.bsky.social #immunology

Take a few minutes to read this piece featuring the amazing #advocacy work that @pedlungdoc.bsky.social does for children with respiratory diseases.

Against a blue background, graphic representation shows a diverse group of women holding a megaphone and placard. In the background are two yellow and black striped tapes. The text reads 'Women's health needs change from the time they are born to older age. But they often hit roadblocks to receive the right diagnosis and treatment they need.'

Today is #InternationalWomensDay

Progress on #GenderEquality in health care is too slow.
Women have distinct & changing health needs at different stages of their lives. Health care should be easy to access, fair & tailored to meet each woman’s unique needs & circumstances.
